Currently, RC flat slabs are being used commonly because of their advantages. Punching shear failure is one of the governing failure modes of RC flat slabs without column capital and drop panels. In this paper, the provisions for predicting the punching shear capacity of two-way reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs without shear reinforcement including ACI 318-19, Eurocode 2 and TCVN 5574:2018 provisions are reviewed by mean of considering the influences of the main parameters (effective depth, compressive strength of concrete, loaded area, reinforcement ratio). A total of 169 test results collected from the literature were used to compare with the provisions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of applicability of predicting the punching shear capacity of two-way RC flat slabs according to these provisions. The comparison results indicated that the Eurocode 2 provision provides the most accurate prediction of punching shear capacity of two-way RC flat slabs.

Punching shear failure is a major problem encountered in the design of reinforced concrete flat slabs. The utilization of shear reinforcement via shear studs or other means has become a choice for improving the punching shear capacity. In this study, a new alternative of reinforcement modalities were tested and demonstrated the effect of self-compact concrete on the punching shear capacity, beside that compared between the difference codes to identify the suitable one for determining the position of critical section of punching shear. Nevertheless, in this investigation, the proposed reinforcement system is examined for interior columns only. An experimental work consisting of six specimens: five of them were cast with normal reinforced concrete and one was cast with self-compact strength concrete. The obtained results indicate that the proposed shear reinforcement system has a positive effect in the enhancement of the punching shear capacity of interior slab–column connection of self-compact strength concrete.

Abstract The main reasons for strengthening flat slabs are the change of the use of a building, increase in the value of loads, degradation of the concrete cover layer, or insufficient reinforcement. This paper is focused on the assessment of punching shear capacity of the strengthened flat slabs without shear reinforcement. One of the possibilities how to enhance punching shear capacity is the addition of reinforced concrete topping. The main goal of this paper is to compare the possibilities for calculation of the increase in the punching shear capacity by investigation of the influence of different thicknesses of concrete toppings and different reinforcement ratio. A reference specimen is represented by a fragment of a flat slab with the thickness of h = 200 mm supported by circular column with the diameter of 250 mm. Three different thicknesses (50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm) of concrete toppings were considered together with three different reinforcement ratios for each thickness of concrete overlay. Theoretical predictions of the punching shear resistance of flat slabs were evaluated by design guidelines according to the relevant standards: Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1), Model Code 2010 and draft of the second generation of Eurocode 2 (prEN 1992-1-1). The differences in the influence of reinforcement ratio are significant. In Model Code 2010 the reinforcement ratio in concrete topping was considered in equation of moment of resistance. This is unlike in both of the mentioned Eurocodes, where the reinforcement ratio was assumed as a geometric average value of the original reinforcement ratio in the slab before strengthening and of the reinforcement ratio of concrete topping. All the predicted theoretical calculations are based on the perfect connection and bond between the original and new layer of concrete. These predictions should be verified by experimental investigation, which is going to be prepared shortly. By the additional increase in the thickness of concrete topping or in the amount of added reinforcement the attention should be payed to the limitation of the punching shear resistance by the value of the maximum punching shear resistance in the compression concrete strut.

The validity of the CSA A23.3-94 code provisions for punching shear were compared with the punching shear results of 142 reinforced concrete flat slabs, 16 prestressed concrete flat slabs with unbonded tendons, and 17 flat slabs with unbonded prestressed and supplementary bonded reinforcement. The code prediction equations are not capable of direct verification against experimental results without using a correction factor. Using a justifiable correction factor, the CSA A23.3-94 provisions are appropriately conservative for reinforced concrete slabs but the scatter is large. However, it was concluded that the CSA A23.3-94 provisions are not conservative for prestressed concrete flat slabs. An equation is proposed to calculate the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete slabs, which has a smaller coefficient of variation than the punching shear provisions of CSA A23.3-94, for symmetrically loaded interior columns. The critical section of the proposed method is the perimeter of the column, which is easier to justify than an arbitrary critical perimeter half the effective depth of slab from the column. Key words: reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, flab slabs, punching shear.

This paper presents experimental studies of rectangular concrete beam behaviors under axial load and bending loads and investigating the possibility of producing Lightweight Self-Compacting Concrete (LWSCC) by using the Attapulgite stone with a bulk density of about 776 kg/m3. The experimental work included (5) specimens which included using the silica fume by 10% and 15% as an addition to the mixture M2 and M3 . The shear span to effective depth (a/d) of beams was (2.5, 2.75, and 3.00). The test results showed an improvement in the mechanical properties of specimens containing silica fume by 15%, which was tested at 28 days. The first crack and the ultimate load were decreasing with increasing (a/d) ratios. Experimental results indicate a significant improvement in the properties of concrete and its resistance to shear stresses, as the axial load improves the shear capacity and reduces the shear failure in the (LWSCC).

There are a number of benefits associated with two-way concrete flat slab construction for office buildings, parking garages and apartments - for example, reduced formwork, prompt erection, flexibility of partitions, and minimal increase in story heights. However, concrete flat slabs could be quite vulnerable to punching shear failure in the event of a fire. The objective of the present article is to provide a state of the art review of the existing research and the issues associated with concrete flat slabs in fire and elevated temperature. There are a number of experimental and analytical studies on the punching shear behavior of concrete flat slabs in ambient conditions, available in the literature. Based on these studies, it is found that punching shear capacity in ambient condition is affected by many factors, which may not remain constant during a fire exposure. Only a limited number of studies on concrete flat slabs for punching shear failure in fire are available. This paper reviews the available experimental and analytical studies, standards and codes to address the research gap in estimating of punching shear strength of concrete flat slab-column connections without shear reinforcement.

Abstract This research aimed to compare the ultimate load of 10 waffle flat slabs with different sizes of solid area and spacing between ribs. For this, a non-linear computational simulation of the slabs was carried out until their failure using the engineering software ANSYS. The failure modes and loads were analyzed, and the results showed that the models with less solid area presented less bearing capacity in comparison to the models with greater solid area when the failure mode was shearing of the ribs. The slabs with the largest solid regions experienced punching shear and behaved in a similar way as solid flat slabs, indicating compliance with the codes in relation to their punching shear strength provisions, especially with the NBR 6118. The results show that a square solid area whose length is 15% of the span is reasonable and that the ACI, Eurocode 2 and NBR 6118 provisions underestimate the shear strength of the ribs.

Experimental evidence have proved that punching shear capacity of flat slabs deteriorate with the presence of openings located within the critical perimeter around columns. It is understood that this deterioration varies inversely with the distance of openings from column’s face. However, effect of the shape of openings on punching shear capacity is not well known. This study presents experimental results of 14 flat specimens to investigate the effects of the number (2 and 4), shape (circular, square, and rectangular), and location (1 and 4 times of slab’s thickness from column’s face) of openings on punching shear strength. It was found that circular openings had least influence on punching capacity followed by square and rectangular openings, respectively. Further, placing openings at a distance of four times the slab’s thickness from column’s face had minimal impact on punching capacity. Further, increasing the number of openings from 2 to 4 substantially reduced the punching capacity. An effort was made to predict the punching capacities of all specimens using the descriptive equations of ACI 318-19 and Eurocode 2. Mean of the ratio of experimental to analytical results and standard deviation of ACI equations were found to be more accurate than those of Eurocode 2 predictions.

Strength Formula

This research targets to maximize the ductility and strength of the reinforced concrete flat slabs. However, to be efficient, the shear reinforcement must be anchored well in the tension and compression zones of the slab. The test results on the slab-column connection models which provided with shear reinforcement are introduced in this study. The benefits of using shear reinforcement are to reduce the slab thickness, and to minimize both the cost and the total weight of the structure. Twelve flat slab specimens have been tested to study the effect of different types of steel RFT on the punching shear of the flat slab. The experimental parameters include no shear reinforcement which study the advantage of using tension RFT ONLY against punching shear, no shear reinforcement which study the advantage of using compression RFT against punching shear, shear RFT (Vertical Stirrups) which study the effect of using shear RFT with constant distribution 0.5d, and a new distribution of shear stirrups which study the effect of using new different width & spacing of vertical stirrups. The twelve specimens were loaded with concentrated load at the mid span until failure. The general behavior of the deformation of the tested slab specimens was examined and recorded (cracking, deflection, and strain in both steel and concrete). A comparison established between the experimental and the numericaltheoretical results obtained from applying the punching shear strength formula given in design codes, and finite element modeling analysis; ABAQUS 2017 software package was used for this analysis. A total of six building codes were examined with regard to their provisions concerning the punching shear. A comparison had been made between the research test results and the codes equations to improve the methods of the analysis about the flat slabs. This study aimed to improve the punching shear capacity of flat slab which leads to more accurate results compared with the codes predictions. To achieve this aim, an experimental and numerical study was carried out for this investigation.

Key Factor

Due to the poor seismic performance, strengthening of masonry structures is always a significant problem worthy to study. It has been proven that the bearing capacity of existing masonry buildings can be enhanced greatly with efficient strengthening measures. An experimental program was conducted to investigate seismic performance of un-reinforced masonry (URM) walls strengthened b,y reinforced mortar (RM) cross strips. Eleven walls were tested under horizontal low-cyclic load, simultaneously with a vertical constant load on the top face. Three URM walls were tested as reference. The other eight walls were externally strengthened with 40 and 60 mm thick of RM cross strips on one or both faces. Test results showed that externally strengthening with RM cross strips was an efficient way to enhance the seismic performance of URM walls. The failure modes were divided into shear failure and shear-compression failure. All the tested walls did not collapse until the test ended, while many diagonal cracks and few vertical cracks appeared on mortar strips. After strengthening, the shear capacity of the strengthened walls increased by at least 38.2%, and the reinforcement ratio was noted to be the key factor to influence the shear capacity with positive correlation. Besides, RM cross strips did improve deformation capacity greatly.
